What you will get

Twenty flashcards in a question and answer table covering facts, definitions, formulas and a few “why” and “compare” questions, followed by five tricky multiple-choice questions with answers.

Common mistake

The AI adds facts that are not in your notes.

Fix: Say “use only my notes, and mark any fact that comes from outside them with an asterisk so I can check it”.

Also watch for

The table does not import into your flashcard app. A pipe table pastes badly. Ask for “tab-separated text, one card per line, no header”, which most flashcard apps can import.
A multiple-choice question has two right answers, or silly wrong ones. Add “each MCQ has exactly one correct answer and the wrong options are common misconceptions, with a one-line reason for each”.

Try a variation: past-paper style

Ask for “five short-answer questions and three case-based questions in the style of a past paper, with a marking guide”. Use it a week before the exam to test how well you can write answers.

Still not right? Reply with this

Use only my notes and mark anything from outside with an asterisk. Give the cards as tab-separated text, one per line, with no header.
